Taizé Evening Prayers in Salado

The Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service is delighted to travel back to our partner, St. Joseph’s Epicopal Church, Salado, Texas for another evening of Taizé Prayer at 6:30 pm, January 12, 2025. Led by an interdenominational worship team based in the Georgetown, Texas area, the Wholeness Service partners with churches all over the Central Texas area. Each service creates several unique opportunities for contemplative worship, including Taizé meditations. For this, we find St. Joseph’s iconic chapel to be ideal.

On this night, we will continue to celebrate the new year as we meditate on thematic scriptures from our current season of “Courage.” With music under the direction of Ginger Mann and pastoral leadership by Rev. Vicki Joy McClure and Vicar Lynn Osgood (both St. Joseph’s), the Wholeness Worship team will fill St. Joseph’s with candlelight, scripture, and song. Worshipers are invited to sing along with the haunting tunes of early Christianity, ornamented by vocal and instrumental solos. Songs will be sung in English with some in Spanish. The Word will be spoken and sung in both languages. Opportunities for candlelight intercession and private pastoral prayer will also be given during the service.

Principal cantor Sean and music director Ginger Mann completed their pilgrimage to the Christian Community of Taizé, France in July, 2017 and spent several years studying with members of the monastic community. They brought back the art and craft of Taizé meditations to their home in Central Texas.

The Wholeness Service looks forward to the candlelight intimacy of Taizé Prayer with our friends in Salado, Texas, as we welcome the new year.
